Myocardial infarction (MI) associated with sildenafil citrate is seen rarely in patients without any history of coronary artery disease. We report a nitrate-free patient with a history of cardiovascular risk factors who developed acute MI after taking sildenafil. A 44-year-old man diagnosed with
Clomiphene citrate is a drug that stimulates ovulation and is commonly used in cases of female infertility. Generally, it is recognized as a safe agent for ovulation induction, but rarely, it is associated with life-threatening conditions. A 36-year-old woman who had been prescribed clomiphene
Cerebral scans were obtained on 30 "stroke" patients first with 99mTc pertechnetate and subsequently with 67Ga citrate. Of the 26 patients with abnormal 99mTc static scans, 17 (65%) showed the same abnormality in gallium citrate scans also. In 4 patients with positive technetium flow studies but
BACKGROUND
Clomiphene citrate (CC) is commonly prescribed for ovulation induction. It is considered safe, with minimal side effects. Thromboembolism is a rare but life-threatening complication that has been reported after ovulation induction with CC. Spontaneous coronary thrombosis or
We pooled data regarding myocardial infarction (MI) and cardiovascular death from more than 120 clinical trials of sildenafil citrate (Viagra) conducted from 1993 to 2001. During placebo-controlled trials, the rate of MI or cardiovascular death was 0.91 (95% CI: 0.52-1.48) per 100 person-years (PY)
Sildenafil citrate (Viagra) is one of the frequently prescribed drugs for men with erectile dysfunction. We describe a 52-year-old man with bilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory infarction after sildenafil use. He ingested 100 mg of sildenafil and about 1 h later, he complained of chest
Plasma levels of glutamate, alanine, free fatty acids (FFA), citrate, glucose, insulin, lactate, creatine kinase and aspartate aminotransferase were determined frequently during the first 2-48 h after onset of chest pain in 10 patients who developed acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and in 8 who did
Sexual intercourse is a rare trigger of acute myocardial infarction (MI). In the 2 hours after intercourse, the risk for MI is increased twofold to fourfold. However, there is limited information on the risk for MI after intercourse in men receiving treatment for erectile dysfunction. This study
Implanted medical biomaterials are closely in contact with host biological systems via biomaterial-cell/tissue interactions and these interactions play pivotal roles in regulating cell functions and tissue regeneration. However, many biomaterials degrade over time, and these degradation products
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the role of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 deletion on citrate synthase (CS) activity postmyocardial infarction (MI).
RESULTS
We fractionated left ventricle (LV) samples using a differential solubility-based approach. The insoluble protein fraction was analyzed by mass
Imaging of inflammation early after myocardial infarction (MI) is a promising approach to the guidance of novel molecular interventions that support endogenous healing processes. (18)F-FDG PET has been used, but may be complicated by physiological myocyte uptake. We evaluated the potential of two
Since its introduction to the market in March 1997, sildenafil acetate (Viagra) has been prescribed to 1.7 million people. Sixteen men who were taking the drug have died, 7 of them during or soon after sexual activity. Most of these data have been derived from the media and not from the scientific
Gallium-67 scanning has been suggested as a means of diagnosing post-pericardiotomy syndrome. We have assessed the value of thoracic gallium scanning in patients with the post-myocardial infarction (Dressler's) syndrome, which is thought to have a similar pathogenesis. In five patients in whom the
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of acute myocardial infarction (MI) associated with the use of oral sildenafil in a nitrate-free patient.
METHODS
A 45-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with acute left-sided chest pain, nausea, and vomiting that started approximately 30 minutes after taking
